Catzilla Now Supports 4K - Flagship GPU Performance Review

We can see in our table below that Nvidia's GTX 980Ti wins the day in AllPlayer's Catzilla Benchmarking tool, offering at least 10% more performance than AMD's R9 Fury X at all resolutions.

Conclusion

One problem with Catzilla over the past year has been its lack of 4K support in its standard benchmarking suite, limiting the tool to only be used for lower resolutions for simple apples to apples comparisons.

It is great to see AllPlayer updating this tool with this additional functionality, so much so that we are considering adding this benchmark tool back into our regular GPU test suite in the future. When to comes to giving accurate data in our reviews performance on a wide range of tools and games is something that is exceptionally important.

I know a few biased tools, doesn't matter which benchmark is used they will always be considered biased depending on the results.

Keep calm and carry on benching.

Not always, but when a benchmark shows a weaker card outperforming a card that is faster, you know it's not accurate. I can't find any results of the 980, but with how far behind the FX was I don't see how they couldn't be even or 980 ahead. Most benchmarks are Nvidia biased anyways, they just turn on as much tessallation as they can and Nvidia cards will always end up doing better. It'd be more realistic if benches used 16x tess as that is closer to real world application.

I have reran the benches a few more times and think it varies a little too much run to run to be used properly, as well as the overall nvidia slant it has.

we only did test two GPUs and that is not really enough to know whether or not it is a worthy tool. I would be nice to have a little more than the usual 3DMARKS etc.

Yes it will be interesting. If AMD can improve tess performance/get stronger Async Compute Engines/ and better IPC, that alone would be a big advancement.

Yeah with only two cards it's not enough to know. You can always get Unigene(heaven/valley)Quote
